What this video covers
Damien and Trev align the port-side wing sliders on their vessel, Brupeg, to enable the wings to raise and lower safely.5:48 The team abandons a roof-mounted A-frame winch system in favor of a door-mounted winch, requiring the fabrication of custom pulleys and lifting points.3:34 They design a two-to-one purchase system using 6mm and 12mm stainless steel brackets, 16mm stainless rods, and 3-inch pulleys.22:34 To solve the issue of the wings being permanently trapped in the sliders, they plan to cut a gate into the slider assembly that can be bolted shut for maintenance access.17:30 The crew also prepares for a professional welder to address hull plating issues, including reinforcing the keel cooling pipe area and replacing degraded hull plates.0:07 By aligning the front and rear sliders and tacking the pulley brackets into position, the team achieves a stable, parallel configuration for the wing arms.10:52 Proper alignment and a robust pulley system allow for the safe, permanent operation of the wing lifting mechanism.
